The Artery Society and VascAgeNet International Training School will be offered again this year in Split.

The Training School offers hands-on experience with a range of established and cutting-edge devices for assessing arterial structure and function, alongside interactive sessions with industry partners to explore real- world applications, including artefact recognition and diagnostic case evaluation. The programme is aligned with the needs and interests identified in a recent survey of Artery members and young investigators (January 2026).

GOALS:

• Provide small-group, hands-on experience with established and emerging methods for assessing vascular function and arterial ageing.
• Strengthen understanding of measurement principles, standardised protocols, measurement quality, common artefacts and interpretation.
• Explore the methodological strengths, limitations and potential clinical utility of the technologies used during the practical sessions.
• Link hands-on measurements to published evidence through expert-led journal-club discussion and critical appraisal.
• Encourage scientific exchange, discussion and networking between trainees, ARTERY faculty and scientists working with the technologies.
